In the letter, editorial page editor Fred Hiatt wrote: “Tom set an almost unimaginable standard of consistent excellence.” Hiatt also acknowledged the cartoonist’s ability to skewer “environmental malpractice, presidential arrogance and Washington hypocrisies, and pomposities of all varieties.” His final cartoon, entitled “Final Toles Cartoon,” was on a 3×3 grid. Toles told the story of how he got started 50 years ago at his college newspaper “as a long-haired liberal” and is still “a long haired-liberal.” Toles said he created 15,000 cartoons in his career. Now, Toles is looking forward to “getting back to playing,” a promise he made himself as a 5-year-old. In the cartoon, he took the opportunity to make “a prediction, an I-told-you-so, and one request.” https://wtop.com/funny-weird-news/2...nning-editorial-cartoonist-tom-toles-retires/
